I don't own anything
John wipes his eyes to make sure he is really seeing the sight before, when the vision in still there he moves closer.
JohnWhitney?!
You're supposed to be in the hospital?
Whitey Russell lays half asleep half-wake leaning against a tree in Tabitha Lennox's yard, obviously an escapee form the hospital as she wears only OR scrubs. She struggles to get up, and John rushes t her side to help her stand.
Whitney
I need to see Chad.
JohnYou need a doctor.
(Bends to pick her up)
I am taking you back to the hospital.
Whitney struggles, but is to weak to get loose, But her whining start to get loud.
JohnYou keep that up and I won't have to take you, Sam will wake up to investigate the noise and drive you there himself.
WhitneyPlease John, I'm fine.
JohnThen you passed out because you where in such good shape.
Whitney(Ignoring the sarcasm)
I passed out because I am tired; it's long walk from the hospital even longer when you have a hangover.
JohnThen how about I take you home?
WhitneyNo, I need to see Chad.
John(Looking annoyed)
Fine, let's go, I walk you.
John helps Whitney into the B&B eventually up the stairs, he stops at a door marked no. 5.
Whitney(Looks around)
Why'd we stop?
JohnThis is Chad's room.
WhitneyOh
Summoning up the last of her strength she bangs three knocks on the door. Waits for Chad to pone the door and annoyed when he doesn't.
John(Trying to hide a smile)
Maybe he's not home.
WhitneyWhere would he be….
(Checks where her watch would be, had she not forgotten it on her dresser)
This hour.
JohnThe time is
(Checks his watch)
12:34 am.
As for Chad's location, may I suggest that he is looking for his girlfriend that ran away from the hospital?
WhitneyWhat I am supposed to do now?
(She slumps against the door)
JohnWhy don't you come lay down in my room, and I will wait for up Chad.
WhitneyKay
John picks her up again and carries her to his room; he places her on the bed and isn't surprised to find her already sleeping. John gets comfortable in the chair by his bed, hoping that Chad comes home soon, and trying to fight the weight barring down on his eyes.
Harmony Hospital
Chad and Ethan frantically search the rooms, closets, and bathrooms hoping to find Whitney.
EthanMaybe we should try to call Theresa, maybe she went there.
ChadI called twice already, Luis and Pilar searched the house, and she ain't there.
Ethan puts a hand on Chad's shoulder to stop him
EthanWhat happened, when I left you here she was fine.
Chad(Worry crossing his features)
Coach and Dr. Russell let me stay with her for a while because she refused to sleep without me there.
Once she dozed off, Coach pulls me out of the room, and demands to know what's happening; you know why did Simone attack Whitney.
(Sees Ethan's nod)
So, I sit them down and tell them everything, Simone thinking I'm her boyfriend, the night of Simone's accident, and the promise Whitney made to Simone.
Coach Russell gets angry and starts yelling that I should have stayed away from his daughters, and tells me that I better not ever go near either one again. I tell him that I'll only stay away from Whitney if that's what she wants, but I am not following his orders. Coach Russell then takes it upon himself to tell security that I was bothering his daughter, so they threw me out. I wouldn't even know Whitney was missing if Dr. Russell didn't call me for my help.
EthanYou think Whitney heard what they said and ran.
ChadYeah, I can't believe this is happening.
(Shaking his head)
Who would drug Whitney, where is she now, where's Simone?
EthanCalm down, I am sure that Simone is with Kay, and that Whitney's at a friends house.
Come on let's get home, we can't help if we're tired. My dad has people on the look out for both, and he will call me and tell me what's up.
Ethan and Chad make their way back to Ethan's car and head back to their rooms at the B&B. They say their goodnights and enter their rooms' glad for the day to be over.
February 16, 2002
Kay wakes with sun shining and birds chirping by her window.
Kay
Shut Up!
(Glaring at the offensive birds)
Jessica looks over at her sister and grins at the site,
JessicaGood Morning to you too,
(Giggling)
Sunshine.
Kay That goes for you too(Switching from the bird to her sister)
JessicaCan I ask you something?
KayTechnically you just did
(Ignoring the rude gesture Jess sends her)
, But I will allow another.
JessicaWhy did you break up with Reese?
KayBecause I didn't love him and it's not fair to use for my own purposes.
JessicaLike trying to make Miguel jealous?
KayYeah, and before you ask I am over that too, I am not going to spend the rest
Of my life plotting and planning for someone to love me. Miguel picked Charity, and I am not going to play second prize for him.
JessicaWow, what brought this on?
KayValentine's day, I waiting with Miguel out a cave while he calls out to Charity.
Valentine's day and here I am with a "date" and a "boyfriend," no roses or candy, no declarations love form someone special.
I got feed up, and decided to call it quits.
Jessica
What happened with John?
Kay
That's another question.
(Ducks as a pillow fly past her head)
Fine, John was home when I got in and I realized that I had made him feel like Miguel
And Charity makes me feel sometime, and I didn't want to do that to someone else.
He asked what was wrong, I told him, he understood, and made me feel better.
John boy is a good guy and great brother.
JessicaSo, if Reese were to start dating, you wouldn't have a problem with it?
KaySubtle, Jess, and no I wouldn't in fact I moved on a little yesterday, even got a number.
Jessica
(Eyes widening)
Was he cute?
KayTall, blonde, and handsome.
Kay gets up and heads to the bathroom ready to take a shower, when she has an idea and goes back into her room to talk to Jessica.
KayWhat do you say we welcome Ethan and John into the Bennett family?
Jessica(A grins spreads across her face)
What kind of welcome?
KayYou know the usual shaving cream on their face, toothpaste in their hair, a hand in warm water.
JessicaSounds fun, meet you in ten minute in front of the B&B, you bring the shaving cream.
The sisters separate and began to prepare for their brothers welcome. Jessica washing up and getting the toothpaste, while Kay gets dressed and grabs some of they're Dads shaving cream. They meet in the lobby 8 minutes later ready to cause trouble.
JessicaSo, who's first?
KayEthan, his rooms first, and we will need him to take John.
The sisters run up the stairs and go to Ethan 's door. Jessica uses the housekeeping keys to open the door, and peeks in. Seeing Ethan sleep peacefully Jessica stops to reconsider but changes her mind.
Kay
(Whispering)
On the count of three.
1…2… 3!
The sisters pounce on their unsuspecting brother and begin spraying him with Shaving cream, and toothpaste. Ethan jumps as the first drop hits his tongues. Opening his eyes he is not really surprised to find his little sisters spraying him with Shaving cream. Jessica and Kay make a run for the door, but Ethan get there first and locks the door. As he blocks it he begins to towering over them.
Ethan(Whipping mixtures of shaving cream and toothpaste off his face)
So, you guys want to a play?
JessicaI was blackmailed into it Ethan.
I would never agree to this otherwise.
Kay(Turning to her traitorous sister)
You wimp
(Turns back to Ethan)
I did it, and I do it again.
Ethan is about to answer when someone knocks on his door; He opens it to find Chad there.
ChadYou okay man, I heard some noise.
(Taking in his appearance)
Problems Ethan?
Ethan opens the door wider to allow Chad in and take in the scene before him. Which consist of Jessica and Kay armed with cans of shaving cream and tubes of toothpaste.
Kay
We decided to welcome Ethan into the family "parent trap" style.
Jessica
You guys want to help us get John?
Ethan and Chad
Sure, why not.
Kay
Easily corrupted, I like that.
(Grinning devilishly)
Ethan
Well, it's early I have nothing planned yet.
All eyes turn to Chad to gain incite into his reasoning.
Chad
I have a feeling that if I don't, I'll next.
Kay
I like fear too.
Kay walks out taking the role of leader, as Jessica and Chad follow. Ethan is brings up the rear trying to clean himself up with a towel. As they reach John's door Kay moves to allow Jessica access to the lock. Jessica peeks in and a gasp of shock leaves her mouth. The others push open the door to reveal John's room. Where Whitney Russell lays peacefully in the arms of John Hastings.
